Catapult 2026

​Catapult is Purdue's AI/ML Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hackathon where students of all backgrounds and experience come together to collaborate, experiment, and learn from one another to design and build solutions to real-world problems.

​In this 36 hour sprint, bring your creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to learn! Join us for a weekend of collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving.

​The schedule, categories, and FAQ are now live on our website at catapulthack.com! More details — including official rule book, workshops, and more — will be released later in the semester. We look forward to seeing you there!

Important note: confirmed registration via Luma is only for securing food badges (for meals/snacks). Anyone is welcome to participate in Catapult and submit a project regardless of registration status as long as they check-in in person at the beginning of the event.

​Check in at BHEE 129. After 10PM, check in is at WALC B093.
